Mro for 5G Networks

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least one request comprises a management service for network function (NF) provisioning with modifyMOIAttributes operation for consumption by the producer of provisioning MnS.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least one target comprises a set of targets selected from a plurality of targets that include: total handover failure rate, total intra-radio access technology (RAT) handover failure rate, and total inter-RAT handover failure rate.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the MRO-related performance measurements comprise: number of handover events, number of handover failures, number of each of intra-radio access technology (RAT) and inter-RAT handover events, number of each of intra-RAT and inter-RAT failures, number of each of intra-RAT and inter-RAT too early handover failures, number of each of intra-RAT and inter-RAT too late handover failures, number of intra-RAT handover failures to wrong cell, number of unnecessary handovers to another RAT, and number of inter-RAT handover ping-pong.

6. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the plurality of targets further include: intra-RAT and inter-RAT too early handover failure rate, intra-RAT and inter-RAT too late handover failure rate, intra-RAT handover to wrong cell failure rate, and inter-RAT ping-pong handover failure rate.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the producer of provisioning MnS is provided by an MRO management function in an operation and maintenance module (OAM) of the D-SON and the MRO function is provided in a network function (NF).

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the NF is a gNB.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to receive, from the D-SON management function, a request comprising a modifyMOIAttributes operation to enable the MRO function in response a NR cell associated with the MRO function not being enabled.

12. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the at least one target comprises a set of targets selected from a plurality of targets that include: total handover failure rate, total intra-radio access technology (RAT) handover failure rate, and total inter-RAT handover failure rate.

13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the plurality of targets further include: intra-RAT and inter-RAT too early handover failure rate, intra-RAT and inter-RAT too late handover failure rate, intra-RAT handover to wrong cell failure rate, and inter-RAT ping-pong handover failure rate.

14. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the MRO-related performance measurements comprise: number of handover events, number of handover failures, number of each of intra-radio access technology (RAT) and inter-RAT handover events, number of each of intra-RAT and inter-RAT failures, number of each of intra-RAT and inter-RAT too early handover failures, number of each of intra-RAT and inter-RAT too late handover failures, number of intra-RAT handover failures to wrong cell, number of unnecessary handovers to another RAT, and number of inter-RAT handover ping-pong.
